In a world where human hearts are currency, you play as a cynical heart collector named Valen, who navigates the treacherous underbelly of a city ruled by a whimsical aristocracy. With every heart has a story, you engage in decision-driven narrative quests that involve negotiations, betrayals, and absurd encounters with quirky characters whose hearts have been cut loose from their owners. As you collect these hearts, you uncover a conspiracy that blurs the line between life and artifice, juggling morality and your own survival while trying to identify who the hearts originally belonged to. Will you keep them for yourself to amass power, or if you have the chance, will you dare to return them? Each choice leads to unexpected consequences and surreal humor as you navigate strange relationships with the very essence of what makes us human.
